Sound Off: You were not a politician

Come on, Mayor Lou. We all voted for you because you are not a politician. Now we see you're folding to political cronyism with the hiring of new police commissioner.

They tried it before

To those people complaining about the police commissioner, why don't you ask Chief Tedesco how he and the Tutunjian administration tried to do it in front of Chief Kaiser for Tedesco to become police commissioner and lost out when the Democratic majority was voted in to the city council? We need to clarify a few things.

He's doing a great job

I agree, Chief Tedesco has enough to do to do his job right. And he is doing a great job.

It's a mess

I'm calling to complain about the traffic up at Congress and Pawling. The traffic is now backed up at 8:30 a.m. all the way to Pinewoods Avenue. The mayor needs to stop up there and see what a mess it is. The timing of the lights has made it nothing more than a giant traffic mess.

They are nuts

I read that sound off and some of the people that call in, I think should be put under observation someplace.

Can't help it

I can't help but wonder if that so-called royalty over there is behind that woman's death.

He's a good man

The message in Sound Off on Dec. 11 is absolutely correct. Chief Tedesco is a good man. Let's all get behind him and put these lousy politicians out of business.

Here is the crime

The only crime being displayed in Rensselaer County Court on the voter irregularity is the special prosecutor running up an outrageous bill of $300,000 and counting on matters that could have been resolved years ago by some intelligent mediation.
